Judge William P. Bynum, returning
TO his home in this city Thursday a.
ternnon after an absence of SIX weeks
in Florida, found that while he was
away his residence had been entered
by burglars. A trunk which con-
tanned $500 worth OF solid tilverware
had been broken open by the burglars
and all the silverware stolen. The
loss of this valuable ware greatly dis
turbed Jude Bynum, aud in his ef-
forts tn get cleW hs made visit to
the office Of the Southern Express
Company in the hope Of finding a
trace of its shipment In this, how
ever, he was unsuccsssful, and he had
turned to leave the Office when one of
the Jerks called him back.
"There is heavy box for you acre"
said the clerk, Shipped from New
York"
"well," the Judge answered alb
stractedly, Send it down to my

TO his law Office, and all thoughts o.
the box passed from his mind; bat

found heavy, iron hooped box await

The ouintessemee of Lea,p.ina.

There was once in certain part of
India such voluminous library, that
1000 camels were requisite for its
transport, and 100 Brahmins had to be
paid for its care. The King felt no in
clination to wade through all this heap
of learning himself, and ordered his
well-fed librarians to furnish him with
an extract for his private use. They
set to work and in about twenty years
time they produced a nice little Ency-
clopndia, which might have been easily
carried by thirty camels. But the
monarch found it still too large, and
had not even patience enough to read
the preface. The indefatigable Brah-
Minis began afresh, and reduced the
thirty cargoes in SO small substance
that a single ass marched away with it in
comfort. But the kingly dislike for
reading had increased with age, and his
servants wrote at last on q palm-leaf
"The quintessence of all science con-
sists in the little word, 'perhaps! !!

of mankind: they We're born; they suf-
fered; and they died. Love only what
is good, and practice what you love.
Believe only what is true, but do not

In this life, with its tolls, sighs, tears,
and pains, its form bowed with labor
with such busy throng, you can
find, oh, SO very many weary ones.
Some SO careworn that even the bright,
beautiful sunshine seems but mock
cry and the fairer the beams are the
heavier upon their hearts the shadows
lie. There are among these some that
are tired of thinking, some even to
whom life is but burden, which they
would willing lay aside. Others bear
the cross patiently for the sake of the
crown which they know is preserved
for them who labor and faint not; but
many grow weary of the pleasures of
the world, and long for cup of water
from the river Of lifelong for the
rest which the Savior promises to those
that come unto him-'the weary and
the heavy laden" With what pleasure
we close our eyes in sleep after the ia
tigues of the day, and think you not
that when temptations assail, when
friends are few, we shall look with Joy
"To that distant heavenly blue,
Where q land of untold beauty lies.
Its glory fades not to our view

are commensurate with their desire to afford

time in reaching the leading markets of the

1uEP1uTE Ela11LY INCREASING.

To Gasette reporter this afternoon
Capt. johnson Sides, quite an intelligent
member of the Piute family, said the idea
prevalent among the whites. that his people
are gradually diminishing i'll numbers is
incorrect. The census returns of 1880
show that there were at that time only g. 200,
but he says many of them were not
counted, and that there were fully 5000.
He estimates the present number of the
tribe nt fully $1,000. and probably $500.
Many of them are as far north as Snake
river md us far south rs the Owens valley
country. Some wander east as far as Elko
county, and but few of them cross the
Sierras into the valleys of California. In
1864 smallpox and measles killed large
number of the race, but since then they
have been comparatively healthy and are
increasing in numbers yearly. Reno (Cal)

EXPLOITATION OF WArER.

1t is an almost universal practice to
have vessel of water attached to furn-
aces and stoves for the purpose of
moistening the air of rooms heated by
them. The common notion that the
aqueous yapor purities the air in any
way is, of course, absurd; but the
possibility that it may render the air
heated by TIE furnace more healthful
and easier to breathe may be worthy of
consideration. The following calcula-
ton, based upon conditions actually
existing in residence, may serve to
show the fallacy of this belief: In the
house referred to, eight rooms, with an
aggregate capacity of 16, 500 cubic feet,
are heated by hot-air furnace, which
eyaporates one pailful of water, weigh
ing eighteen pounds, daily. At a tenn
perature of seventy degrees, assuming
the air in the house to be only half
saturated with moisture, the total
amount of water contained in it will be
about twelve pounds. This would ap-
parently show that the eighteen pounds
of water evaporated would have
marked effect upon the hygrometric
state of the air, but it must be remem-
bered that constant current of fresh
dir is passing through the furnace and
into the house. 1t would be q low esti-
mate to assume that the air is COM
pletely changed every hour, and there
fore only an additional three-quarters
of a pound of aqueous vapor would
be present in the air at any one time,
which would only increase the percent
age of moisture from so to 3d. per
cent, an amount too small to be of any
consequence. An actual test made on
two successive days with the dry and
wet-bulb hygrometer showed that the
percentage of moisture in the air was
the same, whether water was evapor-
ated in the furnace or not. In close,
unventilatod room the impure air may
be easier tolerated by the lungs when
saturated with moisture, but with the
constant supply of fresh out-of-door air
with which every apartment should be
supplied any artificial addition Of
aqueous vapor is both unnecessary and
useless, and only in very exceptional
cases is it likely to produce any bene-
fetal effect upon the health of the per.
sons breathing it.-Popular Science
